My APO chapter recently amended its bylaws to state that alums are welcome to chapter events only at the discretion of the executive board.
In practice, alums do not attend chapter meetings, certain pledge meetings and events, and "candle passes." They just wanted to codify that.
About a year prior, I believe another amendment was passed which prevented alumni from taking littles. There had been times where it might be advantageous for an alum to do so (to keep a certain tree alive or for the benefit of a pledge of a non-traditional age) but they decided to close that door for reasons unknown to me.
My personal philosophy is to only show up when invited, and sparingly even then. It has been my experience that collegians will often rely too heavily on alumni to say and do the things they need to say and do on their own.
